I hope you are well and enjoying the summer so far! I wanted to let you know I will have TWO new singles release on July 19th — a BI-SPECIES release of summer road trip songs: one version for Dogs and one version for Humans. Same chorus in both songs, but the verses are different, written from the perspective of each species. The Dog Version is the first single release for the album I’m planning to release in 2025, the full album for Dogs and the people who love them.

Kelli is a mom to two human kids (twins, age 11 – her daughter steals the show on the cover artwork of the Human version) and a fur baby named Piper Peach (Black Labrador Retriever). Piper Peach contributed both to inspiration and vocalization in making the Dog version, along with her best buds, Loki Newman (Golden Retriever, Border Collie mix) and Mia Swanson (Australian Cattle Dog/German Shepherd, Siberian Husky mix). Loki contributed his special trill to the “mouth horn” section of the Dog version, his enthusiasm and heart not to be outdone by anyone of any species.
“I’ve had a dream for a while to make an album for Dogs and the people who love them. ROAD TRIP – DOG VERSION is the first single release for this forthcoming album (coming 2025) and I decided, why not go ahead and make a version for humans too?!” says Kelli Welli. “We have an absolute blast playing ROAD TRIP live, especially when the audience joins in on the mouth-horn part. Spit may be flying, but it’s some serious fun… And I was so excited to be joined in recording these songs by my great friends, The Newman Family Singers, and their dog, Loki, who make these songs even more special.”
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
